short of the 20 yard line is roethlisberger miller for 16 yards. >> dan: again all time to throw to find miller way down across the middle. what's impressive, rolling left, set his feet and fired a fast ball in to miller. arm strength certainly still there for roethlisberger. >> ian: roethlisberger over 300 yards now 309 on the day still have 4:55 to go in the third. steelers up by three on the raiders. running play, nothing there for rainey as tyvon branch makes the stop. >> dan: that last drive completed five out of eight. survived the hit by philip wheeler. now five catches for 56 yards. mike wallace finds his way to the back of the end zone.

6:52 pm
zero for oakland. >> dan: that's got to be a misprint. >> ian: no. >> dan: it's the raiders. >> ian: got it right here, dan. second and 13 for steelers after the penalty against gilbert. underneath wallace. pittsburgh is very comfortable taking five yard gain there, tyvon branch with the stop. >> dan: it doesn't matter if the raiders bring pressure as they did that time or lay off the zones. >> ian: penalties have always been a story line for raiders. most in the nfl last couple of years. five of the last ten seasons been number one in that dubious distinction. but this is a new regime, dennis allen has been preaching playing smart, being consistent, being tough, being disciplined. >> dan: disciplined is a key word there. >> ian: third and eight. roethlisberger steps up, roethlisberger on the move. hooks up with miller and it is
6:53 pm
enough for a first down. heath miller continues to make plays, it's a nine-yard pick up. >> dan: how many times can we say, watch roethlisberger extend the play. he's taking a run then stops, checks it out downfield, one on one with mitchell. throws the ball perfectly away from the defender. >> ian: first down from the steelers from the gun roethlisberger, with a hand off to redman, he lost his footing. had success last year against roethlisberger running the denver defense it's a different story here. >> dan: better pass rushers. they just don't have anybody

that's getting anywhere near roethlisberger this afternoon. roethlisberger was sacked five times in that playoff loss last year. in' second and ten. antonio brown, lost the ball! scramble for it the. recovered, touchdown! >> dan: looked like wheeler came over to help out michael huff touch the ball out before brown could get across the bowl line then mad scrum at the bottom. already signalled it's a touchdown. >> ian: now it's getting ugly. >> dan: mike wallace went in there shoved the wrong guy, richard seymour.

6:57 pm
>> ian: take look at it to see exactly what happened but looked like brown got stripped just before he crossed the plane.
6:58 pm
>> ian: pittsburgh has 30-21 lead. antonio brown fumbling the football, just before he hit the goal line but recovering it somehow amidst that crowd piled around it. >> dan: has had unusual calls today. by and large they have done solid job. >> ian: agreed. >> ian: ben roethlisberger is celebrating, wait a second, is it going to work out. not sure, yeah. is it, i don't know.
